All four wins at 5f on good ground or softer, bolting up in handicap at Goodwood in May; well below par in two subsequent runs but she's had over two months off since and could be revived; not without hope if so.

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Andrew Balding

Her three handicap wins have all come over C&D on good ground or slower; it was only a 0-88 that she won here on her reappearance in May but she fairly bolted up, easing her way into contention from well off the pace and skipping clear inside the final furlong; reverted to front-running in an Ayr Listed event last month but overdid things and dropped away late on; 11lb higher than for May's win but still a strong contender if the ground doesn't dry out too much.
